"Ms. Galloway is truly amazing. She does exactly what she says she is going to do and that type of integrity is not always found everywhere. I’m so pleased with the service that I received here."

"Very clean, nice waiting area, though a little small. The staff was very polite and professional. I only had to wait about 23 minutes and my issue was resolved in less than 10 minutes. The person helping me was extremely knowledgeable."
J.Glenn Wright - September, 2019
"Not enough seats for all the people that come in there. My advice, is to get there early but if you really don't have an appointment. Call them or do all your work online. They do not recognize POAs but you can be an authorized representative. Make sure all cellphones are on vibrate. You can use them but don't have them ringing. Security is very nice and helpful and makes an announcement every so often. Security is more helpful than customer service. Everybody is nice there. If you are a diabetic or have children, PLEASE EAT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE. No eating or drinking is allowed."

Which Social Security benefits am I eligible for?

How do I report a death?

Funeral homes typically handle reporting of a death to the SSA. However, you will need to provide the funeral home with the deceased’s Social Security number for them to do so. Note that deaths cannot be reported online. If you want to report the person’s death yourself, call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. You also visit your local Social Security office in person.

How do I replace my Social Security card

If your Social Security card is lost or stolen, you can get a replacement card free of charge. Log into—or create an account on — My Social Security, and you can apply directly there. However, you will need to provide original documentation in order to create an account. Our guide explains what you need to replace the card.

What should I do if I get a call from a potential Social Security scammer?

Scam calls from Social Security have increased, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. These fraudsters might claim there is a problem with your Social Security account, benefits, or number. They will often solicit or demand some form of payment in exchange for resolving the problem.
If you receive a questionable call, hang up and immediately report the call directly to the Office of the Social Security Inspector General. As new scams emerge every day, it’s critical to stay informed of the latest scams in order to keep yourself and your finances safe online.
